This is interesting information and I think that you are correct. It plays .very' much like a western. It is good to see this sort of input.

Subject: Exactly the sort of Sci-Fi Galaxy claimed not to publish
Subject: Exactly the sort of Sci-Fi Galaxy claimed not to publish
In some their early advertisements, Galaxy magazine showed two similar paragraphs, one from a Western, the other from a Sci-Fi story. They were identical except for the terminology - rocket ship instead of horse, ray gun instead of revolver, alien instead of American Indian. They said they would never publish stories like those.
Well, this is one of those stories Galaxy was complaining about. Evidently they had lower standards for their novels.
Basically it's a Western themed mystery, only instead of being set in the west, it's somehow set on an asteroid with an atmosphere and streams and all that (just like an early 20th century mining town). One of the local ranchers/miners is accused of murder and the only lawyer in town to defend him is a city slicker who just moved there.
